Attribute accuracy is as accurate as our PLSS at 1:24000. Attributes were compared to aerial photos of mines in operation.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All data is consistent with the PLSS as automated techniques were used. Automation is based on a fully attributed base map of the PLSS. All polygons are complete, closed and attributed. Some overlaping polygons may exist do to human error in reporting the aliquot parts. Ongoing review is being done by the Wyoming Dept. of Environmental Quality.

Completeness_Report:

The data is as complete as the records of the Department of Environmental Quality's records. To the best of our knowledge the records are complete. Small permitted areas encompasing roads, railroads, transmission lines, and piplines were ommitted.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Most data was created using USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Maps at 1:24000 scale, registered by Arc View and projected in a consistent manner.Therefore, the horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Most data was delineated off of USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Maps at 1:24000 scale, registered by Arc View, and projected in a consistent manner. Therefore, the vertical accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards.

Data was obtained from the Dept. of Environmental Quality. A database containing the fields: meridian, township, range, section, and aliquot calls(location). Records are cleaned and parsed to run through specially designed software. The software reads the location and then places it on our fully attributed PLSS basemap creating a polygon based on the aliquot call on the PLSS. The polygon is fully attributed. Attributing was done by linking the polygon coverage unique ID field with the same unique ID in our database. Once linked the .shp file was saved with the new attributes.
